Does any of this sound familiar?
- You have pain and you’ve tried everything else.
- Your pain is affecting the quality of your health, relationships, work, happiness and peace of mind. You experience moments of feeling frustrated and hopeless but deep inside, you know there has to be another way.
- You don’t want to follow the symptom treating crowd that says you need a quick fix. You are courageous, tenacious, savvy, and ready to take action to address the cause.
- You believe in your body’s amazing ability to heal. It’s just a matter of getting some guidance on how to get there.
I understand – I have been there. There is a way out of chronic pain. I would love to help you get back to pain-free living.
After my second child was born, I had chronic pain. I pushed through anyway and went about each day as normal. However, the pain robbed me – it made me less patient and present in my relationships. Distracted by pain and tension throughout the day, I was unable to focus on tasks. By the end of the day, I was checked out and totally spent. I was wasting energy speculating and calculating what might increase the pain. Because of all this, I was accomplishing less during the day and the quality of my work was affected.
I tried weekly chiropractic and massage appointments. The relief would only last a few hours and I would be right back to where I was. So I gave up hope. I was tired of spending time, money and energy dragging two young children along to appointments that were not creating lasting results.
Within the next year, I injured my low back. I moved from nagging chronic pain to severe pain that stopped me completely. I could no longer pick up or play with my kids, work out, bend, sit or stand for long periods. I had always been healthy, athletic, and independent, so being unable to use my body hit me hard. It was at that moment that I knew this was not where I wanted to be.
A friend introduced me to the vital relationship between posture and pain. I started studying, finding and practicing the best ways to heal from pain. This changed my life and set me on a path to helping others heal.
I went from feeling impatient with my kids to being more fully present. I could focus on tasks and work. Instead of getting a massage to manage my pain, I now choose to get a massage because I want one, it feels good, and has beautiful health benefits. The posture work I do at home keeps me aligned so that my muscles are relaxed and better able to receive massages.
Instead of having to stop my activities, I am pain-free and have been for 18 years. I am healthier and more fit in my 40s than I was in my 20s. Using what I have learned I am able to prevent pain and continue to improve my overall health and fitness.
These days, I feel joy and gratitude knowing that my journey of pain led me to gain the knowledge, training and experience to help many people heal from pain and get back to being active. I would love to help you, too.
Love,
